Guide to the Prod Order deletion / Archiving procedure:

Once archived the Production Orders are only for Information Purpose.

You cannot do any thing on these orders.

For detailed information on Production order Deletion and Archiving 

1. First Execute the program: PPARCHP1 with Deletion Flag Activated and the selection should be all your Prod. Orders or you can have a selection criteria to do that.

After this some of the orders will not get the DLFL Flag, there can be number of reasons for that.

2. Execute the same program PPARCHP1 with Deletion Indicator activated.

Now you got the DLFL and DLT both for your Production Orders.

As said earlier Residence Time 1 & Residence Time 2 will play a major role on this.

If both are maintained as 1 & 1 then the Prod. Orders should reside in the system with DLFL for 1 month.

After that only you can put the DLT and also after putting DLT you need to wait for 1month for Deletion or archiving.

3. Now goto PPARCHA1 (Archiving) and execute the Program with your same selection criteria.

4. Now use the T. Code CO78 or T. code SARA (with PP_Order as object Name) for deletion of Orders.

Execute the programs in the Foreground, so that you will come to know what the problem if any.
